Then, Kakki, I respectfully submit that you go back and re-read the JMDL posts from that time period, for beginners. There was much anguish expressed in the JMDL over military force being used to counter the genocide in Kosovo. There was much, and severe criticism, of the Clinton administration's policies in Kosovo from many who were otherwise favorably disposed towards Clinton. Those discussions lasted for many, many months, and were very passionate. And as a long standing member of what may be termed the peace and justice community, I can tell you there was much dissension over the bombing of Serbia, and there continues to be.What gets me is that I don't recall hearing a peep out of these groups when the U.S. military was warring and killing people in Bosnia/Kosovo. There was a war that didn't not threaten the U.S. as opposed to Iraq. <clip> Cynically, it makes me think that if a different person was in the White House pursuing regime change in Iraq, the voices would be a lot more subdued, if not silent.
I will not be responsible for what you do not remember. It makes me very cynical about your viewpoints, given how convenient your memory is, and how limited your knowledge is of communities that lay outside of your circles of friends.
